Endometriosis Support Group

Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

confused/question

hi, i have just come off the pill (BC) (yaz) and i am wondering what happend to our hormones after we come off a pill... i know it takes time to regulate.... but we get a period when we come off the pill dont we ??? is that the rise of estrogen ? it must be a drop in something.. lol im confused.
also can someone tell me at what times of the month our hormones/and which hormones are meant to do what.

I have just come off of the pills myself but these were to help with my period not being so heavy and to lessen the days. So far it has only been a month and everything seems to be going fine with my cycle. I don't have all the answers myself but I do beleive your cycle will come back.

What exactly do you want to know? (Since google isn't working...)There are 2 types of &quot;periods&quot; -one is a result of ovulating (and therefore a fertile cycle, generally) and the other is a withdrawl bleed, a result of your hormonal changes. Every woman takes a different length of time to adjust to her normal cycles after stopping b/c. Some are right back straight away, others can take months.... Do you want to know in general what your hormones do throughout a cycle or how they are affected by the pill? Not quite sure on your question :)

well the more red it is the more &quot;new&quot; it is...browner/darker blood is &quot;old&quot; blood (been exposed to air longer). So my Gyn told me that red blood means it's come out pretty quickly...hasn't been sittin' around inside you for awhile. One reason that this happens with your first cycle after being on the pill is probably because it's all &quot;new&quot;.

another thing with the brown nd black blood (which i know it will go back to being after this initial coming off BC pill period) ... i know bc pills reduce our flow, but does that mean it 'makes less blood build up, or t just doesnt all come out ??

you see..... when i started getting unwell, my periods changed also. they would be up to three weeks late or less and no proper red flow like i always had. its brown and dark black....dark red. and always had the sensation there was more in there and it just couldnt come out. my first period starting the bc pill was red again, but then went back to being brown and black.

s its always an indicator to me that it hasnt been coming out properly, hence i have it coming out old...like its blood from the last cycle

Most BCP make your body think you are pregnant sort of, so when you stop it, you go back to ovulating and bleeding again.

There are several kinds of pills, all of which have different levels of hormones at different times of the month. You need to google the type of pill you took and look at the hormone levels it tries to achieve.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
